Tuesdays with Dorie: Creamy Florida Meringue Pie?

Standard

I plain flat screwed this week up. I could blame it on getting ready to get the boys ready to go back to school. I could blame it on trying to keep Colby’s medicine dosages straight on their ever changing schedule. I could blame it on the dog. However, the fact of the matter is, I am an idiot.

I forgot the graham crackers at the store. I subbed Pepperidge Farm Chessmen Cookies, which worked out really, really well. But then in rushing to get this done, I accidentally made the Florida Pie filling. I topped it with meringue and called it a day. The pie tasted fantastic and I would make it again. Its just not the right pie for this week.

Check out the ladies and gents, who I am sure made the proper pie for the week, from the TWD blog roll. And thanks to Linda of Tender Crumb for picking this fab pie. I love the citrusy ones!

I was expecting some catastrophe, like the filling wouldn’t set or it got knocked over. But even with the confusion you still made what probs was a great dessert, and the meringue topping looks pretty!

Great idea on using a rectangular tart pan! It looks wonderful. Since the Pepperidge Farm Chessmen cookies are buttery, you didn’t miss out on All the butter that goes into the recipe. 🙂
This is only my third go-around as a TWD member but I think its brilliant! Thank you for starting it up.

This does *not* look like something an idiot would put together! It’s the perfect tart/pie…. LOVE the shell and the meringue treatment (I’m browning meringue like crazy these days… I love that little torch). Hopefully your schedule will slow down and you can “concentrate” – although this look fantastic as is!
